A command-line interface tool that makes managing your project commands easier, supporting Rust, Fortran (fpm, built-in native) and Python (uv) projects.

lox-rs is a CLI tool designed to simplify common project workflows. It provides a unified interface for building, running, and checking your Rust or uv projects with consistent output formatting.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/EdwardJoke/lox-rs.git
cd lox-rs

# Build and install
cargo install --path .

# Or use as a local tool
cargo build --release
target/release/lox --help

If you prefer to use lox-rs as a local tool without installing it globally:

# Run directly with cargo
lox --help

• Consistent output formatting across all commands
• Automatic detection of project configuration
• First-run detection and messaging
• Smart build checking (only builds when needed)
• Comprehensive environment information

• Q: I am using the official pip as my environment configuration tool/package manager. Am I unable to use this tool?
  • A: Yes, we apologize that lox-rs is temporarily unavailable, but we recommend using uv, a fast, high-performance package manager written in Rust who can do the same thing as pip. For more details, please visit the official Astral website. The pip support is planned for the future (v0.4).
